TRAWLER FUNNELS. TWO MUGS. 1997.

Little Sparta: Wild Hawthorn Press, 1997
30.5 x 28cm, offset lithograph printed brown and black on cream paper. The linocut image by Gary Hincks is of two mugs each with boat registration numbers on them . The work is inspired by a Ben Nicholson painting – also Two Mugs – the same outline of the crockery is used by Hincks.
Both mugs are steaming from their contents – but in the drawing this makes them a visual parallel to the funnels of steam boats. Hence this is a maritime work and more than just a still life.
